Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

It produced a crisp, ethereal, melodious, and rhythmic sound.

At this time.

The view that Pokobi saw was completely different from what Xia Yan and the others saw.

A sense of darkness, oppression, harshness, and roughness washes over you.

“Chocolate…”

Togepi called out softly, the sound echoing in the small space.

It jolted.

I remembered.

It remembered where it was.

It's a cave!

It's a tunnel!

That means it has lived in a tunnel since it was born!

Rocks were everywhere, and you could see little elves encased in them all the time. They were difficult to get along with, but thankfully they weren't too temperamental.

Gollum-

Pokopi's stomach suddenly growled, and it reached out its little hand to touch its round belly.

hungry.

Almost instinctively, he wiped his body, and a dark, indistinct thing appeared in his palm.

This is the most fundamental thing that allows it to survive in this tunnel, and it is also its most precious thing.

But for some reason, even though its stomach was still rumbling, it had no appetite at all.

It seemed to have long forgotten what these things tasted like, and just felt that they must not taste good.

"Is that alright?"

Pokobi scratched its head, feeling as if it had forgotten something.

It forgot some things that seemed very important to it.

It forgot something that seemed to have unknowingly occupied a large and important place in its heart.

Even if you forget what it is, as long as you try to remember, you can't help but ignore the rumbling stomach and the thing that unconsciously grins and smiles.

I forgot...

"Is that alright?"

What did I forget?

Pokopf almost instinctively reached out to grab to the side.

It seems that whenever it wants to do something, it will grab onto something that is neither too soft nor too hard, but always responds, something that it can reach at its height.

Unfortunately, it reached out and grabbed a handful of air.

"Chakoi?" Pokobi paused again, watching the little hand slowly retract.

I gently pinched it.

It's empty.

What am I grabbing?

"Roar!!"

Just as Togepi was stunned, a raging roar came from the depths of the cave, and scorching flames swept over, instantly melting the surrounding rock walls.

The figure that terrified all the elves in the tunnel swiftly swept past, its sharp claws only centimeters from its eyes.

This feeling is still so familiar.

“Chocolate…”

'I......'

That feeling of never being able to grasp the key point made it somewhat frantic, somewhat irritable, and somewhat... disappointed.

"Ring ring—"

Suddenly, a clear, melodious, and familiar sound rang in its ears.

Like the resounding tolling of morning bells and evening drums, they strike straight to the depths of the soul.

next second.

Familiar scenes flashed before its eyes, like slides that disappeared in an instant.

But each scene added a touch of brilliance to the light in its eyes.

My narrow escape from the jaws of a pterosaur, my first taste of the crystalline cube, my first glimpse of sunlight, my first time testing moves under his command, my first time leaving him speechless with a flick of my finger, my first time on the battlefield with him, my first time helping him fulfill his lottery wish, my first time learning to make crystalline cubes like him, my first time... my first time...

he.

who is it?

slowly.

A familiar figure, gently outlined from a hazy black mist by the sound of bells, like a paintbrush.

That familiar, gentle gaze, that seemingly indifferent face yet warm smile, that warm, safe embrace yet slightly firm grip, that tugging at my trouser leg every now and then...

"Chocolate!"

Togepi's eyes lit up instantly.

Like two bright lamps in the pitch-black tunnel, they shimmered with scattered pink halos.

That figure, already etched into my soul, is reflected deep within my eyes.

'Xia Yan! It's Xia Yan! '

Togepi finally remembered!

It remembered everything!

Xia Yan!

This brought about a huge turning point in its fate and gradually became the thing it relied on!

Togepi's body suddenly emitted a dazzling white light, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

"I remember now! I want to help him... I want to help Xia Yan achieve all the goals he wants to reach!"

Chapter 36 Goblin? Goblin!

Clusters of dark clouds were adorned with specks of crystalline white light, resembling a vast starry sky, their soft yet shimmering radiance spreading like a bright moon.

Within the white light, there lurked an aura of happiness.

Both the Beedrill and Casey, illuminated and covered by the white light, showed expressions of ecstasy.

As if strolling on the other side of happiness, joy and good fortune intoxicated them, causing them to unconsciously take a few steps closer to Xia Yan.

“Chocolate…”

Her small, bright eyes slowly opened, reflecting Xia Yan's image in their pure light.

Without flapping its tiny wings, the little creature, pure white like an angel, floated in the air, suspended by the blissful aura it exuded, and flew to Xia Yan's side.

“Togepi…” Looking at the little guy in front of her, the white light faded, taking Togepi’s appearance with it.

It has evolved.

Just now, Togepi, bathed in blissful white light, successfully evolved into Togepi in front of me.

It has grown taller, shed its rounded eggshell, and revealed a red and blue triangle on its abdomen.

Togekiss can sense the goodwill in the hearts of other Pokémon and humans, a power similar to Blissey, and it also brings good luck to kind people.

Togekiss, these spirits, often pay attention to people with pure hearts. They approach these people and shower them with happiness and warmth, a phenomenon known as "joyful dust."

But if they don't spend time with kind people, they become depressed and listless.

At this moment, Togekiku, hovering in front of Xia Yan with the help of the blissful aura it was emanating, was in excellent condition.

"Chocolate!"

Its pure white wings fluttered gently, and an invisible, intangible aura of happiness emanated from it, enveloping Xia Yan.

Xia Yan extended his hand.

Snapped!

Pokkiku also reached out and tapped Xia Yan's palm, while winking at him playfully.

Xia Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it was still his Togepi.

He immediately smiled and gently placed his hand on Togekiss's head. "Congratulations, little guy, you've finally evolved."

Xia Yan knew that Togepi's affinity with him was about to reach a critical value, but the higher the affinity, the more difficult it was to increase. So even though he was prepared for Togepi's upcoming evolution, he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

It seems that Marshall's words and actions just now had a significant impact on Pokobi.

"Chakoi!" Pokkigu raised its little head high, its face beaming with smugness.

Isn't it even cuter now?

"Hahaha—yes, yes, yes!" Xia Yan said with a laugh.

Upon hearing his affirmation, Tokigu's overly confident, even arrogant, expression instantly crumbled. He winked discreetly at Beedrill and Casey beside him and raised an eyebrow.

Beedrill and Casey exchanged a glance and smiled.

Even after evolving, Togekiss's personality remains unchanged.

When it's time to be cheeky, be cheeky.

Putting aside his jokes, Xia Yan said seriously, "Togekiss has evolved. Do you feel any differences or changes?"
